This website is a disgrace.
Why allow insults? Do you have no control of what can be published?

Come on Nchenga why are you hating to see somebody succeed,there are thousands of excuses for losing but only one reason for succees;Good management!If Zambia had lost i do not think you were going to attribute the loss to the reasons you have given for the win,Kalu would have been held responsible,so why should it be wrong for him to also claim responsibility for the win?Be fair bane,let not your anger and hatred for a person impair your logic.

Congratulations to the winners! i reminded every one that its only councillors who have a say in as far as coming up with the FAZ executive is concerned. Now that we have spoken we need to shift our attention to football on the ground, time for name calling is over. What a nice time we at MOBA.

Congulatulations kalusha for winning.this shows that you are great man and I always believe in you.my advice to you is that try by all means to bring the system of football league.those days under Kaunda leadership,all companies in Zambia had a football team.because of the,the national team coach had the wider sections of players.these days,there are so many companies in Zambia who are not participating in the running of football in Zambia.companies like waterfront and sun hotel in Livingstone.they are
busy making money in Zambia but they are not giving back to the community.kalusha ,in south Africa ,the league is so strong and competive because all companies are involved.do in Zambia by involving king cobra

Kalusha,
Congratulations for your re-lection to the position of FAZ President. Some pipo said winning an african CUP (AFCON) was nothing to FAZ elections but they 4got that this country has never won that cup b4 and it is during your administration that it has been won and so thumbs up 4 you. Plse continue inspiring our football fraternity for we need more cups and also qualification to the world cup. We love you Kalu. God bless you. Congratulations once more.

@Pupwe, what Bemba dominance are you talking about?
Did anyone stop Tongas from contesting? Or did anyone stop Lozis to contest and campaign. Your tribal comment is very misplaced.

Kalusha Bwalya’s victory is the greatest mistake delegates have made.This guy thinks he is untouchable and he is the greatest thing to happen in football in Zambia.Nay.Late Godfrey Chitalu was and is still the greatest thing to ever happen in football circles in Zambia.I feel for FAZ.

Winning the AFCO Cup is not a sign of good leadership by Kalusha and company, It was God’s time. Kalusha Bwalya and his cronies are a bunch of thieves who will empty the the FAZ coffers big time, wait and see

You people critisizing Kalu are just jealous. To me, you are not any diferent From HH being against M Sata and the PF. Conratulations to Great Kalu for retaining your position. Chief, just do your work. Never mind these critics who are just full of envy and hatred!
